From what we have done regarding areas of the world begin to develop a thesis as to how/why Anglo-European civilization ascends to the position as global hegemon.
Read pp. 36-47, 83-88, 89-90, 96-97, 121-123, 164-170 of Modern World History: Patterns of Interaction (MWH from now on). This is a lot of reading so please be prepared for our setting of the stage for the Enlightenment and the French Revolution.
Activity #3 KIS Radio Podcast & the Scientific Revolution:
You and a partner will create a radio show based on the primary and secondary sources you have read (see below). The format will have one radio show host/interviewer and the writer of the primary source. For example, MC Mr. Brightman will be interviewing Sir Isaac Newton (Mr. Spivey). You will use GarageBand on your MacBook to complete the assignment. Your podcast interview will be completed over the next two class periods. Please be ready with your homework so that you may make the most of your class time with your partner.
1. Read and analyze your primary/secondary sources as an individual (see handout on APPARTS). Once you are done deciphering your assigned work, discuss your analysis with your assigned partner. If you lose your source, it will be on one of the following two links. YOUR PARTNER(S) WILL BE ASSIGNED IN CLASS - THIS COULD BE DONE RANDOMLY.
3. Start to write your script. Your script may be as creative and entertaining as you wish, but you must convey the main ideas of your primary source to your listeners. If they cannot comprehend the main themes of your primary sources, then your podcasts will not be effective. When scripting out your podcast, please ensure that it meets this criteria. Also, make sure that it is an exchange between both speakers and not a monologue by one person. Both partners must play a significant role in the script. Here is a couple of examples: Example 1 (Scroll down to bottom for podcast) Example 2 (Look at the script podcast is no longer there.)
4. For homework, you will continue writing your script, which will be due next class. Please have it typed or neatly written so that you can start podcast production promptly at the beginning of class.
To further understand the primary source documents, we recommend you finish the reading about The Scientific Revolution that you began at the beginning of this unit. There are two additional readings that round out the discussion here:
5. You will start to produce your podcasts in class and will continue for homework. Podcast are excepted to be anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes in length. If you want to include commercials, opening music, or other forms of radio media you are totally welcome to. You have done a lot of the leg work and now is the time for you and your partner to have fun with this. Use all the time that has been allocated to you for this project wisely. Remember that we are looking for quality and not necessarily quantity. For more on expectations download the rubric from below.
6. After completing the podcast you will need to embed them to this wikispace on your class page and then under your group name. You will need to upload your podcast to http://www.podomatic.com/ or http://www.imeem.com/. After uploading, you will be able to embed your work. If there are any questions please refer them to your teacher.
How the Anglo-Europeans ended up dominating the world....at least for a few hundred years.
